Cells and Organelles

Cell Specialization and Function

The first step in understanding that various cells have various function is understanding the fact that all multi-cellular organisms have different systems responsible for different functions.

In humans, we call these "Body Systems" which include systems like the Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory and Immune System.

Body System Research  

Use these resources to begin your research on the various systems that work together to run the human body.

You will be responsible for doing research on the body system given to you randomly in class.

It is suggested that you take notes for yourself either on paper/pencil or in Google Docs.

  • Nucleolus
  • Mitochondria
  • Golgi Apparatus
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cytoskeleton
  • Ribosomes
  • Lysosomes
  • Cell Membrane
  • Chloroplast (Plant Only)
  • Cell Wall (Plant Only)
